Vtech VT-2417 2.4 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone

Pros: Inexpensive and works well
Cons: Buttons don't light up

Recently, the phone in my bedroom broke so I needed a new one. Why, I can't say. I very rarely even use the phone at my house and ever since I signed up for the nationwide "do not call" list, my house phone never rings. Anyone new I meet gets my cell ...

Pros: headset jack, 10 speed dial numbers, paging feature, compact size
Cons: number keys do not illuminate, can only hear well when using the headset

I needed another phone, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on one. When a local department store ran a sale on the Vtech VT-2417 Cordless Phone, I had to take advantage of the terrific offer. After all, how many 2.4 GHz cordless ...

Pros: Could be used as a weapon if shoved down someone's throat.
Cons: there will be millions of these filling our landfills for the next thousand years

If you have a terminal disease, such as Pancreatic Cancer, the bird flu, mad cow disease or are suffering in the last stages of the Ebola Virus, bleeding to death through all orifices and your pores, but you really need a phone, buy yourself this Vtech ...

Pros: Modern technology at an excellent price, build quality, headset feature, 2.4 GHz Wireless.
Cons: A new brand on the market.

Have you been phone shopping recently? It can be a little overwhelming. Maybe your like me, a guy with a phone that chirps and cuts out after a few minutes of using your old wireless home phone, or perhaps your a lady who has a prehistoric ...

Pros: Inexpensive, takes up little table space
Cons: The sound quality is poor

I picked up this phone because it had few features I wouldn't use. Plus, its base doesn't take up much space. Unlike several phones I looked at, it also has a self-paging button on the base to make it easy to find the hand unit when its lost. However, the sound was so poor that I returned it. My cell phone gets better sound. I'm disappointed because my previous cordless phone was a vtech and it had great sound quality.

I would not recommend to someone who wants clear sound. But I would recommend it to someone who doesn't care because you can't beat the price... I found it for $6 after rebate.

Pros: Low price, sound quality OK, compact
Cons: Sharp point on antenna, rings when hung up.

On the plus side, this phone was very inexpensive (I think I paid under $10), and takes up very little space on the desk. The sound quality is decent. The most annoying feature is that when I make an outgoing call on the phone and then hang up, the phone will start ringing and will continue to ring until I pick it up. (Of course, there's nobody there!) I thought at first that this might be a problem with the phone jack, so I switched the Vtech 2417 with another phone in a different part of the house, but it has continued to have the same problem. Also, the antenna on the phone has a very sharp point, and I have poked or scratched my face with it on several occasions. I would not recommend the Vtech 2417.
